ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM – FREE
Our ordinary circuses is a cross-generation family play that’s absolutely not being shy about age groups.
It’s an open-air piece yet space specific, because it uses the setting of a street workout park. It is also open in a sense that the choreographic composition “offers active viewers a place” to join the scene.
While the players coming from different generations are professionals – including dancers, acrobats, parkour trainers – , joining the activity does not require special skills, but is very much worth doing for children or adults alike.
It very much worth it, because the play wishes to move away from the common notion that workout is a lonesome, boring and repetitive ceremony that shows its sacrifice on the altar of beauty or fitness or let’s just say: “good looks”, whereby we just don’t like to be disturbed.
On the contrary, we experiment by the means of choreography and creative utilization of the tools of the park to make collective exercising a fluid and playful activity whereby not only individual acrobatics provide a spectacle for viewers but the choreography itself created by collective movement.
„The challenge of the piece is to take role in a community, to experience the consequences of one’s own role and to experience the responsibility that comes with it.- review of a participant
